* "The ​heat is also hitting cattle farmers. High temperatures reduce feed intake, increase ​water demand and ⁠cut milk output. They're standing there with ​their mouths wide open, just trying to find air...It's very difficult, physically for people and for the animals." >>

Our paper demonstrates a simple method for monitoring harmful #algal_blooms / #cyanobacteria in a #lake over space and time, using #ChlorophyllA as a proxy and open source satellite imagery. You just need a few well-timed chl-a samples from your lake to calibrate an #aquatic chlorophyll index https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/cjfas-2024-0374 #earthobservation #SatelliteRemoteSensing #PigeonLake #lake_ecology

Emergence of fractal geometries in the #evolution of a metabolic enzyme: Franziska Sendker et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07287-2

"Citrate synthase from S. elongatus has the peculiar capacity to self-assemble into a type of #fractal shape known as a #Sierpiński triangle. This is not a universal feature of citrate synthases, there's something unique about the one from this #cyanobacterium."
